“The first indication we got, our cell phones went off with flash flood warnings,” Roger Nelson, a business owner on Water Street said. “Probably three minutes later, my son-in-law called and said, ‘We need to move the vehicles out of your shop.' By the time we got here, the water increased to where we could not get to the building.”

Nelson owns an asphalt seal coating company. Every vehicle in his shop was submerged.

“From the floor to the color is six-foot-seven,” Roger said, referring to the water line on the wall.

School officials have canceled classes for Monday at Salem Middle School. An emergency meeting is scheduled for Sunday to assess the damage at the school and determine how to move forward, according to WSLM.
